The Beypore beach, situated at the mouth of the River
Chaliyar near Kozhikode (Calicut) in North Kerala. It was one of the major
ports and fishing harbors of elapsed times and enjoyed immense importance in
the trade and maritime History of Kerala. Above all Beypore was world famous
for its ship-building industry and lured the Arabs with the specially built
vessels named uru. The traditional shipbuilders were known as Khalasis, who are
adept in ship building knowledge and craft.
Beypore Beach still exudes its old charm and you can still
smell the past when you visit the historic boat-building yard. You can still
watch the creative process of building uru(typical vessel) in this beach.The
isolated beaches around Beypore are pristine and clean and ideal for a secluded
repose. You can laze around, stroll or indulge in water sports or treat
yourself to a relaxing Ayurveda massage.
You can taste the delectable freshly cooked seafood delicacies
from the seaside stalls and drink the refreshing coconut water. Another great
attraction at Beypore is its splendid stone bridge that extends for 2 kms and
is completely built of stones, jutting into the sea. You can also visit the
adjacent city of Kozhikode, a famous tourist destination in Kerala.
